Sermon: Delegating Authority
Scripture: Exodus 18:1-27
In this week’s lessons, we look at the wise and helpful advice on leadership that Jethro gave to Moses, and then see how that applies to the church today, and to us personally.
Theme: Leadership Qualities
We concluded yesterday’s study by looking at the first qualification Jethro gave to Moses for the judges he was appointing. Today, we begin with the second qualification.
Moses was an extraordinary man. He had magnificent gifts and unbelievable training, the best possible training you could have in that day. But you see, even Moses couldn’t do everything. This is why you get the division of leadership. If he couldn’t do it, we can’t do it either. And we should be looking for people who can.
